The Lightning Network (LN) is a second layer peer-to-peer network that allows us to make Bitcoin payments "off-chain," meaning without committing them as transactions to the Bitcoin blockchain. The Lightning Network gives us Bitcoin payments that are secure, cheap, fast, and much more private, even for very small payments.
